Heh, I guess they're rolling in the age verification flag enforcement now that it's been so successfully launched in beta.

*snip* affecting approximately 1/12 of our residents *snip*

12 inventory servers, 1/12th of residents affected.

My bet is on another inventory server meltdown

.

(Blah, 16 inventory servers... I'm still betting that the duct tape on one of them wore off and needs replacing

)

They've apparently already put in the flag enforcement. I am verified but still couldn't get in to a parcel that has already been flagged. So the enforcement is there, but the recognition of people as verified is not.

Kicked and "Login failed. The inventory system is current unavailable."

Guessed right, but guess I'll have to find something else to go do for an hour now

Ironically, I just was gonna test this further when the test alt got caught by the inventory system downtime. I have a group-owned Mainland parcel that I age-restricted two evenings ago when it was first announced, and found that an unverified alt couldn't get in, but a verified one could--except that verified one was an Officer (not Owner) of the group that owned the land... so I was just gonna test it with another alt who's an Officer and is not verified... but he'll have to cool his heels for an hour or so, I guess.

Just keep checking the blog for an update, if it's not updated, just wait

You really don't want to be the first to log on and guinea pig test the "fix" anyway

The blog also specifically mentions that anyone affected should not try to log in until 20 minutes ago

Y'all think we should buy the monkeys some clocks that run on more than hamsters?

They aren't guinea pigs in SL.. they're guinea Ruths!

I'm not gonna try. When one goes down or half goes down, the other half will have their paper clips and duct-tape straining.

Lindal mentioned in another thread that the system doesn't seem to yet have info about all accounts that have verified, so maybe it is just a matter of me waiting a few days for my verification to finally make it all the way through all of their servers (I only verified last night).
